Friday Feature: The Regenerates by Maansi Pandya

Blurb: Abolition Day has arrived again, the day when any of Cor’s citizens arrested for opposing the regime are publicly executed in a special ‘cleansing’ ceremony. Sixteen-year-old Ven is an aristocrat. He lives in a palace, goes to lavish parties and wears buttons made of pure gold. To him, Abolition Day is nothing more than an unpleasant holiday that comes and goes. All of that changes when his best friend, Coralie, makes the execution list. In order to save her life, Ven teams up with a mysterious criminal who warns him that his city is in terrible danger. He offers Ven a deal: steal something from the palace for him, and he’ll save Coralie’s life. Not about to watch his best friend die, Ven makes the deal and slowly uncovers the truth behind the criminal’s warning – something out there is desperate to see Cor burn to the ground, and it makes Ven question everything he’s believed in.

About Me

Kelly Hashway fully admits to
being one of the most accident-prone people on the planet, but that didn’t stop
her from jumping out of an airplane at ten thousand feet one Halloween. Maybe
it was growing up reading R.L. Stine’s Fear Street books that instilled a love
of all things scary and a desire to live in a world filled with supernatural
creatures, but she spends her days writing speculative fiction and is a USA Today bestseller. Kelly is
also USA Today bestselling romance author Ashelyn Drake. When she’s not
writing, Kelly works as an editor and also as Mom, which she believes is a
job title that deserves to be capitalized.
